This is a quick deck I had a concept for. The basic idea is the Corpsejack Menace and the Primodial Hydra to get an unstoppable force onto the field early. If that fails, I have lots of mana for Garruk's Ultimate.
Not sure if it would work in practice or not. I'm wondering if I should take out a land or two and put in a few revives to basically play cards from the graveyard multiple times, freeing up deck space for other things. Any ideas or suggestions.
I have made this deck but haven't had chance to put it up on here yet. Believe me it works and it's fu#$ing awesome. It includes Deadbridge Goliath , Slitherhead , Blessings of Nature and Increasing Savagery . I'm trying to splash it into red for access to Slumbering Dragon but this may be a bit much but I will see in play test.

I'm doing a similar deck as well; I just posted it; it's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Corpsejack. Now, I'm new here, so hopefully people don't find that build too horrible. Still need to play test it though.
I actually fit in Slumbering Dragon quite easily, to be honest; Somberwald Sage is a big help on that front. I did away with scavenge though; too slow. Much quicker to bash people's heads in without having to rely on creatures going to the graveyard first.

Be careful here, though. Corpsejack Menace doubles the number put on him when he comes into play, but when his counters double, Corpsejack only upgrades that to a triple. If he has X counters, it's only adding X counters, so Corpsejack makes it adding 2X counters. I'm not saying you thought Corpsejack was quadrupling the number on the Hydra, I just have run into people who were playing it like that without thinking about it.

I gave this a go and it was really fun. Does damage FAST. I also included Predator Ooze . I started a thread for it over at MTGSalvation, but no one really seemed interested in it: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=451443

i made a similar deck and it failed hard. i splashed white for Mikaeus, the Lunarch , and Gavony Township s, and it just didn't work. So then i tried to take out the white, and it still didn't work. I found that Corpsejack Menace , just is not as good as i thought it would be. Plus i'm playing in a meta where its all U/W creature control.

Corpsejack Menace is INCREDIBLE if played right!!! i put 4 in and 9/10 times he's on the board turn 4 with either a Predator Ooze , Daggerdrome Imp , or a Primordial Hydra . throw in a Rancor or 2 and Ring of Kalonia /Ring of Xathrid and it gets out of control FAST. I'm telling you, check out my Corpsejack Counters deck and you will see a solid build. If you have ANY issues or loopholes let me know http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/corpsejack-counters-28-10-12-1/
